Alnus Acuminata Var. Genuina

Alnus acuminata var. genuina is a rare and unique subspecies of the alder tree native to specific regions of South America. This plant is known for its ecological importance, particularly in nitrogen fixation and soil stabilization. It thrives in moist, well-drained soils and is often found in riparian zones and mountainous areas. Its distinctive features include small, oval leaves and clustered flowers that attract pollinators. Due to habitat loss and limited distribution, it is considered a vulnerable species requiring conservation efforts.
